I had read this poem before seeing In Her Shoes; so I decided to write it
to my brother on his birthday. My brother has grown into an honorable man,
and I couldn't think of a better poem for him.

what a wonderful poem! I love it! I saw "In her shoes" and the when Cameron
Diaz was reading it it was so beautiful...just to dream of it!

I heard this poem in the movie In Her Shoes, and i hope the poem helps me
to bring my wife, the love of my live, back. We broke up two weeks ago and
i miss her so much. This poem is beautifull. I cried in the movie.

I have been asked to read this poem at my friends' wedding tomorrow. As I
have been travelling for three months, I haven't had a chance to research
or practice much and would find an audio clip VERY helpful! Does anyone
know of one?
